The present invention provides a moisture reduction roller conveyor system (100, 200, 301) and method comprising a continuous carry belt (105, 205, 308) to carry a bulk material and an oscillatory motion assembly (110, 210, 320) operatively connected and configured to induce oscillatory motion of the belt that is transmitted to the bulk material. The oscillatory motion assembly (110) is operatively connected to the frame to induce the oscillatory motion. Alternatively, the oscillatory motion assembly has idler rollers (210a, 210b, 210c) that are offset or eccentric to one another to induce the oscillatory motion. A different oscillatory motion assembly comprises a carriage body (325) for supporting the belt (308) and wheels (340, 345) for engaging a rail track (302). The wheels (340, 345) are configured to induce the oscillatory motion, preferably by periodically lifting one end (360) of the carriage body from the rail track as the carriage moves.
